This submarine mountain range is called the Chagos-Laccadive Ridge which stretches over 2000km in length roughly North to South. Gan is the largest island in the atoll and in the Maldives.

Our island also has impressive mounds from a pre-historic Buddhist time. The mounds known as “Hawitta” is a pyramid like structure built in pre-Islamic times and have a history of over 600 years. Away from home, experience the unique and the unspoilt natural environment of the beautiful Maldives through our adventure holiday tour. This opportunity will expose the visitors to the Maldives history, culture and livelihood engulfed in the natural marine environment, where Sun, Sand and Sea form the frame of this unspoilt paradise.

Fishing with the development of factories in the region is emerging and the tourism in Laamu is evolving with the introduction of Guest houses in the local island.

If you decide to cancel any part of your holiday during the course of your stay you must notify us in writing explaining the reasons for the cancellation.
Changes made by us: It is unlikely that we will have to make any changes to your travel arrangements, but we do plan the arrangements many months in advance. Occasionally, we may have to make changes and we reserve the right to do so at any time. Most of these changes will be minor and we will advise you or your travel agent of them at the earliest possible date. If we make a major change, you can either have a refund of all monies paid or accept an offer of alternative travel arrangements of comparable standard from us, if available. We also reserve the right to cancel your travel arrangements. For example, if the minimum number of clients required for a particular travel arrangement is not reached, we may have to cancel it. However, we will endeavor not to cancel your travel arrangements, except for reasons of force majeure or failure by you to pay the final balance. If we make a major change to your holiday, we will inform you or your travel agent as soon as reasonably possible if there is time before your departure. You will have the choice of accepting the change of arrangements, accepting an offer of alternative travel arrangements from us if available or cancelling your booked holiday and receiving a full refund of all monies paid.

We can cancel your holiday in the following circumstances: war, threat of war, riots, civil strife or terrorist activity, industrial disputes, natural or nuclear disasters, fire, technical problems with transport, airport closures, bad weather conditions and similar events beyond our control.
Changes after the start of your holiday: Very occasionally we have to change your holiday arrangements after you arrive to the island. If we do this, we will try to place you in accommodation of the same or higher standard in the same or similar island. If some diving activities are cancelled by us and as a result we are unable to provide the amount of dives stated in our package a refund of USD $40 will be provided for each dive.
